For what? What are your trying to build? Have you tried any of the PHP examples already posted for you here?

raher1 · 10-05-2014 7:24pm

Just build a simple book. Create read upload and delete?

You're going into "write the code for me" territory.

I love helping people with programming problems, but only if they've actually tried themselves. There is so much sample code online these days that you can hack anything you want together with those building blocks!

Ya I know what CRUD stands for. I just have no idea of what it is you are exactly trying to build, what you have tried to date and what level, if any, you are at with your PHP knowledge.

People will point you in the right direction and review your code to see where you might be going wrong, but nobody is going to build this for you. Especially when you haven't even tried to learn anything for yourself.

I don't how to write a MySQL script for a login. I got code. I was thinking I might try something else.

Have you tried in any way to learn PHP/SQL at all? There is no magic wand solution for what you are trying to achieve... You NEED to take the time to learn PHP and basic SQL (as has been explained to you at least 5 times in this thread already. I'm not trying to be mean, but you appear to want others to do what you are too lazy to do).

Nobody is going to help you unless you have first tried to help yourself. Every person on here learned the basics of what they know from a committed period of self-directed learning; taking something they don't know how to build and learning how to build it. What you are trying to achieve is quite simple and there is an ocean of tutorial content online to help you learn. The problem here appears to be your reluctance to commit to learning the basics.

I'd like to help you but you need to help yourself first.

Please use

tags when posting code. [quote] [code]<head></head

[/quote] Missing the closing ">".

$data = htnlspecialchars($data);

Should be "htmlspecialchars".

Attention to detail is important when you're coding.

Creamy Goodness · 11-05-2014 6:43pm

will not validate what exactly?

if it's bad php syntax run

php -l filename.php

if it's the w3c markup validator (which most use to ensure their html markup will work with majority of browsers) then the php source means nothing to us.

there are plenty of tools that will tell you the answers better than what we can here. Being honest, in my opinion posting three words 'will not validate' and your source is a sure way not to get people to help you, you've shown no signs of trying to figure it out yourself.

billyduk · 11-05-2014 8:15pm

You have not validated against any conditions. You started with the W3C tutorial template and actually removed the validation they had in their example. Here is an example of how that script validates with comments:


// DEFINE EMPTY VARIABLE FOR ERRORS
$nameErr = $emailErr = $genderErr = $websiteErr = "";

// DEFINE EMPTY VARIABLE FOR INPUT VALUES
$name = $email = $gender = $comment = $website = "";

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

//IF THE VALUE OF name IN THE FORM IS EMPTY
  if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
//THE VALUE OF THE VARIABLE $nameErr IS "name is required"
    $nameErr = "Name is required";
  } else {
//IF THE VALUE IS NOT EMPTY, ASSIGN THE VALUE TO THE VARIABLE $name
    $name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
    //IF THE VARIABLE $name DOES NOT MEET THE CONDITIONS OF A-Z LETTERS WITH ALLOWANCE FOR WHITE SPACE
    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) {
//THEN THE VALUE OF THE VARIABLE $nameErr is ""Only letters and white space allowed"
      $nameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed"; 
    }
  }

Also, you need to close the form tag.

The error is pretty self explanatory. The file you are looking for cannot be found. If the error wasn't obvious enough, did you not think to google what this means?

Option A.) The path to the file you are trying to open is incorrect.

Option B.) The file you are trying to open does not exist.

Option C.) Both Option A.) and Option B.)

I'm not going to answer any more of these until you at least show a small sign that you searched for a solution yourself. A simple google search would have pointed you in the right direction here.

raher1 · 13-05-2014 7:44am

It's the way I downloaded the apache xamp. I have to change the config file.

No you don't. Its nothing to do with the way you downloaded XAMP. You just need to make sure the file is in the htdocs directory in your localhost. I wouldn't play around with the config file if you don't know what you are doing.

The closing html tags <\html> . I am getting a problem there. I can't see any problem the error is at this point. It wouldn't show up sign in boxes.all I get is error at line 38, the closing html tag.

14-05-2014 9:33am

Two of the first three google results for "unexpected end of file" all contain the answer. Did you try googling it?

Just looking at it briefly, you don't seem to be closing your first if-statement.

Silverbling · 14-05-2014 10:50pm

Is the person who is offering php lessons for €20 an hour still here?

I am self taught and now have 3 php sites, all with different cms, I am quite happy breaking and fixing them, editing files, running sql queries etc.

I would like to move on a bit and need someone to show me how to adjust the php files I am afraid to touch like the cart, I can add files and adjust them e.g 3rd party credit cards but now I want to move it up a gear with someone sat next to me that can fix it and show me where I went wrong if I make a total cods of it, could you pm me please

raher1 · 15-05-2014 9:42pm

Could you state where exactly it needs closing. I tried closing the last statement three time with varying degrees if unsucces.
